Serves: 4-5
Ingredients
- 1 lb. thick cut bacon
- 6 tbsp. brown sugar
- ½ tsp. black pepper
- ¼ tsp. cayenne pepper
- ½ tbsp. red pepper chili flakes
- 1 tbsp. sorghum syrup
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Line a baking sheet pan with parchment paper to minimize cleanup.
- Place bacon slices on a baking sheet pan. Make sure they are not touching so they do not stick together. Add bacon in a single layer.
- Add to a small bowl the brown sugar, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and red pepper chili flakes. Stir to combine sugar mixture.
- Sprinkle the spice mixture over the bacon liberally. You want to coat the bacon. Pat mixture in with your hand. Flip bacon and repeat the process.
- Cook bacon in a preheated oven for 35 to 40 min. Check on the bacon near the end to make sure that the sugar does not burn.
- Remove bacon from the oven to cool.
- Transfer bacon to a wire rack and lay bacon flat to let cool completely and let the sugar harden.
- Drizzle sorghum syrup on the top of your bacon.
